"Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines... " Song of Solomon 2:15
"Those who neglect the little things will not be prepared to endure severe tests when they are brought to bear upon them. Remember that character building is not finished til life ends. Every day a good or a bad brick is placed in the structure."- E. White
Likewise, it is faithfulness in the little mundane things of life that can bring us great happiness. Faithfulness not just in doing the duties we have been given but also in showing kindness and compassion to whoever we interact with (particularly family). These little acts of faithfulness, "... help make up the sum of life’s happiness; and the neglect of these little things makes up the sum of life’s bitterness and sorrow."
"We cannot always do great things but we can do small things with great love." Mother Teresa.
"He who is faithful in the little things will be faithful in the big things..." Luke 16:10
Be faithful in all that God has given to you! Time, money, the people in your life, your health, your talents, your soul.
